I am wondering if I can claim legal expenses related a legal dispute with my disability insurer? I won my case and the fees were $33,000.

Thank you for your question.

 

Yes, you may deduct your legal expenses related to a dispute with your disability insurer. This is because the CRA allows you to deduct legal expenses to collect salary and wages; this also includes disability payments to compensate someone for lost salary or wages.
